I wanted to use a team with 3 starters and 3 legendaries (technically 2 here as Iron Treads is a Paradox but you would get the picture here). So I went with Mega Sceptile my fav grass starter and mega, Feraligatr my favourite water starter, Incineroar my third favourite fire starter and my favourite alola starter. Latios is one my favourite legendaries. I went for Enamorus because a fairy is needed and Iron Treads beacause of the typing and ground immunity. The idea behind this team was trying something different with my favourites and try to get the best out of them. I have been using this team during tera and even post tera and to be honest i didn't rely that much on when tera was legal. Lets jump in to the explanations. I have been using this team during tera meta and even post tera. I hit my peak on a test account ironically and this was good enough to get to the top 250 of the ladder. Top 500 is often above 1660 guaranteed.
Mega Sceptile - Mega Sceptile is my favourite mega of all time. I also feel its good special attack and amazing speed give it some unique perks. Giga Drain is for stab and recovery + damage. Dragon Pulse is stab and Leaf Storm is a strong grass move to ohko stuff like Alamamola and Donozo. Dont forget he outspeeds mega lopunny, dragapult and tapu koko which is huge. Focus Blast is to nuke Kingambit thinking they want to pursuit and hits Heatran and Ferrothorn super effectively. Outspeeding and Killing Dragapult from full is a goldmine. I personally believe he has a niche of sorts in both vs some offensive and some defensive stuff.
Feraligatr - Feraligatr is my favourite water starter of all time. It's Water with 4 attacks and Liquidation with adamant sheer force is the selling point. Crunch for psychics, Ice Punch for Dragons and Aqua Jet for frail fires and excadrill. The speed is for base 70s and some HP for a bit of bulk. Did not go for Dragon Dance, Swords Dance or agility as its not fast not enough and not exactly powerful enough for an agility sweep. Feraligatr has been able to live one hit from physical Dragapult from full and ko it with Crunch and Ice Punch. It used to be tera water during tera meta but now thats not relevant.
Incineroar - I really wanted to use Incineroar in National Dex and he is my third favourite fire starter and I wanted to give him a go. Hence I decided to give him a choice band set. I went for adamant max attack to hit as hard as possible. U-turn is for momentum and super effective hits on darks, psychics and grasses. Blaze Kick for stab and since fire punch is too weak and flare blitz gives you recoil, I felt Blaze kick is the best option for fire stab. Knock off is stab and hits hard and removes items. Earthquake is for Heatran and Toxapex. The speed evs are too outspeed Mega Tyranitar and any base 55s max speed. The rest are in HP to give it more bulk and its typing plus initmidate give good defensive utility against Ceruledge, Dragapult Kingambit and Weavile. Used to be tera fire before. I also used to run 176 speed evs but then I found my self outspeed by mega Tyranitar so thats I why changed it to 216 evs.
Enamorus - Enamorus is the special breaker with calm mind +taunt and groundium z. Groundium ohkoes Heatran and can ohko pdef toxapex if it runs no spdef. Taunt is to prevent annoying shit. Moonblast is for stab and Earth power for coverage. The ev spread is standard. Groundium Z has even ohkoed Glowking at +1.
Latios - Latios is the special scarfer with trick, luster purge,mystical fire and draco meteor. It outspeeds even mega pert in rain which is phenomenal and outspeeds scarf Shifu and scarf Kart too. It used to be tera dragon for a strong draco during tera meta. Its a check to Zamazenta as well and its the second of speed control + ground immunity and it does well against webs often.
Iron Treads - Iron Treads is the ground type and also the toxic immunity. Earthquake is for stab, Rapid Spin to remove hazards, Ice spinner for Lando, Gliscor and Garchomp and Stealth rock for hazards. It used to be tera ghost during tera meta. Its the electric immunity before Sceptile mega evolves.

Threats
Defensive
Alomomola - This fish is a pain to play against. Thanks to wish protect it will drag battles for long and force predictions. I have a leaf storm from Mega Sceptile and taunt from Enam but still a giant pain. One startegy has been to knock it with Incin on the switch and get up rocks vs Mola.
Gliscor - Protect variants are annoying with toxic but Enam with taunt can force progress with it.
Chansey (kind of) - Sure I can knock it but will switch out and i once got surpirsed by a counter variant of chansey. I can trick it with Latios but i need to look at its teammates before trying it.
Mega Venusaur and Amoongus (both kind of) - I dont have a way to instantly pressure Mega Venusaur without Latios who could be pursuited later and would need Mega venusaur to come in on my enamours after its calm minded. Blaze kick with banded might 2hko but it would been taking a lot from earth power for my Incini. Amoongus spore is annoying to switch into but i can pressure it enams calm minds.
Offensive -
Booster energy iron valiant and iron boulder - Both of them are faster than scarf Latios and can easily take scarf Latios out. I have often needed Enam or Feraligatr at full to handle iron valiant and Gatr especially for boulder. If Gatr or Enam gets chipped then its all over. Another tech has been to not mega evolve sceptile against valiant but its rare.
Battle Bond Greninja - Not that common but if this gets a kill, its practically all over and i need to outplay it.
Fast Mega Scizor - A bulkier mega scizor can be handled by Incineroar but not a fast mega scizor. Feraligatr could take advantage of the defence drops after a CC with Liquidation + Aqua Jet and Latios could kill it with mystical fire but have to be careful around it.
Mega Charizard Y - My only switch ins is Latios and too an extent Incineroar but so often Zard Y is paired with a pursuit so I have had tough decisions to make vs it.
Scarf Tapu Lele - This can be a problem if it gets a prediction correct.
Conclusion - This team isn't perfect but I have had success with it on the ladder, I would like to say. I am open to constructive criticism about the team and open to chaning movesets or ev spreads or items for the mons. The only mon who I am open to replacing is Enamorous or Iron Treads but I want to keep the rest of the team and not willing to change the rest of the team.
Mega Sceptile - Mega Sceptile is my favourite mega of all time. I also feel its good special attack and amazing speed give it some unique perks. Giga Drain is for stab and recovery + damage. Dragon Pulse is stab and Leaf Storm is a strong grass move to ohko stuff like Alamamola and Donozo. Dont forget he outspeeds mega lopunny, dragapult and tapu koko which is huge. Focus Blast is to nuke Kingambit thinking they want to pursuit and hits Heatran and Ferrothorn super effectively. Outspeeding and Killing Dragapult from full is a goldmine. I personally believe he has a niche of sorts in both vs some offensive and some defensive stuff.
Feraligatr - Feraligatr is my favourite water starter of all time. It's Water with 4 attacks and Liquidation with adamant sheer force is the selling point. Crunch for psychics, Ice Punch for Dragons and Aqua Jet for frail fires and excadrill. The speed is for base 70s and some HP for a bit of bulk. Did not go for Dragon Dance, Swords Dance or agility as its not fast not enough and not exactly powerful enough for an agility sweep. Feraligatr has been able to live one hit from physical Dragapult from full and ko it with Crunch and Ice Punch. It used to be tera water during tera meta but now thats not relevant.
Incineroar - I really wanted to use Incineroar in National Dex and he is my third favourite fire starter and I wanted to give him a go. Hence I decided to give him a choice band set. I went for adamant max attack to hit as hard as possible. U-turn is for momentum and super effective hits on darks, psychics and grasses. Blaze Kick for stab and since fire punch is too weak and flare blitz gives you recoil, I felt Blaze kick is the best option for fire stab. Knock off is stab and hits hard and removes items. Earthquake is for Heatran and Toxapex. The speed evs are too outspeed Mega Tyranitar and any base 55s max speed. The rest are in HP to give it more bulk and its typing plus initmidate give good defensive utility against Ceruledge, Dragapult Kingambit and Weavile. Used to be tera fire before. I also used to run 176 speed evs but then I found my self outspeed by mega Tyranitar so thats I why changed it to 216 evs.
Enamorus - Enamorus is the special breaker with calm mind +taunt and groundium z. Groundium ohkoes Heatran and can ohko pdef toxapex if it runs no spdef. Taunt is to prevent annoying shit. Moonblast is for stab and Earth power for coverage. The ev spread is standard. Groundium Z has even ohkoed Glowking at +1.
Latios - Latios is the special scarfer with trick, luster purge,mystical fire and draco meteor. It outspeeds even mega pert in rain which is phenomenal and outspeeds scarf Shifu and scarf Kart too. It used to be tera dragon for a strong draco during tera meta. Its a check to Zamazenta as well and its the second of speed control + ground immunity and it does well against webs often.
Iron Treads - Iron Treads is the ground type and also the toxic immunity. Earthquake is for stab, Rapid Spin to remove hazards, Ice spinner for Lando, Gliscor and Garchomp and Stealth rock for hazards. It used to be tera ghost during tera meta. Its the electric immunity before Sceptile mega evolves.

Threats
Defensive
Alomomola - This fish is a pain to play against. Thanks to wish protect it will drag battles for long and force predictions. I have a leaf storm from Mega Sceptile and taunt from Enam but still a giant pain. One startegy has been to knock it with Incin on the switch and get up rocks vs Mola.
Gliscor - Protect variants are annoying with toxic but Enam with taunt can force progress with it.
Chansey (kind of) - Sure I can knock it but will switch out and i once got surpirsed by a counter variant of chansey. I can trick it with Latios but i need to look at its teammates before trying it.
Mega Venusaur and Amoongus (both kind of) - I dont have a way to instantly pressure Mega Venusaur without Latios who could be pursuited later and would need Mega venusaur to come in on my enamours after its calm minded. Blaze kick with banded might 2hko but it would been taking a lot from earth power for my Incini. Amoongus spore is annoying to switch into but i can pressure it enams calm minds.
Offensive -
Booster energy iron valiant and iron boulder - Both of them are faster than scarf Latios and can easily take scarf Latios out. I have often needed Enam or Feraligatr at full to handle iron valiant and Gatr especially for boulder. If Gatr or Enam gets chipped then its all over. Another tech has been to not mega evolve sceptile against valiant but its rare.
Battle Bond Greninja - Not that common but if this gets a kill, its practically all over and i need to outplay it.
Fast Mega Scizor - A bulkier mega scizor can be handled by Incineroar but not a fast mega scizor. Feraligatr could take advantage of the defence drops after a CC with Liquidation + Aqua Jet and Latios could kill it with mystical fire but have to be careful around it.
Mega Charizard Y - My only switch ins is Latios and too an extent Incineroar but so often Zard Y is paired with a pursuit so I have had tough decisions to make vs it.
Scarf Tapu Lele - This can be a problem if it gets a prediction correct.
Conclusion - This team isn't perfect but I have had success with it on the ladder, I would like to say. I am open to constructive criticism about the team and open to chaning movesets or ev spreads or items for the mons. The only mon who I am open to replacing is Enamorous or Iron Treads but I want to keep the rest of the team and not willing to change the rest of the team.
